who we are<br />
The new original substitutes in all respects<br />
the codex preserved in the Library. <strong>ArtCodex</strong>®<br />
replicates in its own editions all the characteristics<br />
of the manuscript that make it unique: by<br />
means of a patented system of treatments, the<br />
parchment is reproduced on paper, denominated<br />
cartaPergamena®. The colors, metals, and gold are<br />
spread and applied with the ancient techniques of<br />
the amanuenses, and the binding of the manuscript<br />
is reproduced integrally. In so doing, <strong>ArtCodex</strong>®<br />
achieves an original that allows one to recapture<br />
the same tactile and visual sensations that are<br />
experienced when viewing a work of art.<br />
The project of the new original <strong>ArtCodex</strong>® contributes<br />
to the diffusion and safeguarding of a patrimony<br />
of illuminated manuscripts that, reproduced in<br />
prestigious exemplars, are able to substitute the<br />
original in scientific research, while at the same time<br />
becoming collectors’ treasures designed for those<br />
who wish to appreciate their beauty.<br />
The realization of a manuscript is an artistic project<br />
that requires years of study and research, thanks to<br />
which the achievement of absolute faithfulness to<br />
the original does not remain just an aspiration, but<br />
becomes a precious reality.<br />
